Free Speech May Be Returning

(the paper which broke the story is behind a paywall).

Summary:

• A University of Cincinnati student used the term "biological women" referring to women to differentiate biological men who pretend to be women (non-"quote" language is mine, not hers).
• The professor failed her for "using non-inclusive language" in her paper and decided that failing her would be the lesson she needed in order to be more inclusive.
• The school sided with the student and mandated that the professor take "free-speech training."

Quote

In contesting the discipline, she wrote that her “restriction on harmful speech” was “necessary to ensure a safe learning environment in the course discussions and for the pedagogical purpose of teaching introductory WGSS theory,” the newspaper reported.

The professor added that she “felt it was necessary to educate her regarding inclusive language to ensure a safe learning environment for other students in the course discussion boards.”

I would point out that this was most likely a liberal student.  The class was "Women's Gender Stuidies".  I have trouble believing any conservative would be taking such a course.  Liberal women (some would call them "TERFs") know they are being marginalized by this movement.  But now they are running afoul of the trans movement wiping them out.

I recently heard an interesting interview with Naomi Wolf (who is still a liberal, but is siding with conservatives on this issue) wherein she indicated how powerful this movement has become.  And feminists are now being forced to accept men in locker rooms and showers with women.  More women are being raped by men who claim to be women, but because of this movement, they (the women) are being told to shut up.  

Yes, you heard that right.  These biological men are so powerful that they are allowed to rape women with impunity -- just because they're pretending to be women.  School officials are falling on their swords to prevent accusations and criminal charges against these men.

Maybe, just maybe, more rulings like this may turn things around.  But most liberals are all for making excuses for these men.

All women owe a debt of gratitude to Riley Gaines for having the courage to take the lead on this issue.  But I don't believe for a minute that it will get better - and if it does, it will be like in 3 Nephi - better very briefly before a massive descent into hell on earth.

I'm sure you're mistaken. Godless has assured us that almost no one is transgender. Just an insignificant, tiny little percentage. It's all just conservative panic. Conservatives just need to respond to actual facts like the leftists do, and not invent false things out of whole cloth and observation of what's going on around them.

Yup. 

• Deny & cancel. 
• Minimize & cancel. 
• Ignore, except to the point that we can cancel.
• Then finally admit it and say we can't (or even "shouldn't") do anything about it.   And if you do something, you'll be cancelled.
